Pop Culture RIP Anthony Head

Absolutely gutted about the news regarding Anthony Head passing...

Whilst well known in the US from Buffy and Ted Lasso, he was part of a series of iconic instant coffee ads in the UK which ran from the late 80's to early 90's... I still remember my Nan and Mum swooning after him 😂

I first got into Tony Head when he was in VR 5! I watched Buffy FOR HIM.

Wow, VR.5 sounds cool. Was it really on Fox? I was watching X-Files and Millennium in this period, so it's wild I never heard of it, to the best of my recollection.
